A meeting of the members of the
Salem Commercial club scintillated
with interest last night. Evary seat
in the auditorium was occupied by
members to 1 hear a discussion of
several constitutional amendments
and measures that are to be voted
on by the people at the neVt state
election. The educational Dills
were among those endorsed. James
S. Stewart spoke for the measures.
The State Chamber of Commerce
referred reven of the proposed
measures to the local commercial
club for an expression. The first
measures given consideration - last
night was the limitation of 4 per
cent state bonded indebtedness for
permanent 'roads, instead of 2 per
cent. This amendment was dis
cussed vigorously but as all the
speeches favored the passing of the
act no conflict of opinion resulted.
By unanimous vote tlie Commercial
club went on record as favoring the
construction of permanent highways
In Oregon to the extent of the am
ount of money that would be avail
able when the enactment shall have
become legalised.
j i Interest Accounted For
It was brought out that the rais
ing of the constitutional limitation
would make it possible to raise $20.
000.000 for road construction. This
it wns said would be taken care r.f
by the gasoline tax and aulo license
both as to Interest and principal
"In other words" as one speaker
exclaimed enthusiastically, "e coul l
build our roads without paying for
them. The completion of the
state's entire road program from be
ginnirg to end as now outlined will
cost J120.b00.000 according to . fig
ures quoted by James S. Stewart,
one of Oregon's good roads boosters
who was called on frequently for In-
r i a t - . i i i , . i
imii uiaiiuu msi uiuv, including leu-
leral. state,, county and district
funds.
One of the . speakers made the
chance remark that Oregon now en
joyed the highest taxation of any
stale In the union except Montana.
The higher educational tax was
next taken up for consideration. All
present evidence a deep appreciation
of the benefits of higher education
to young men and women and with
out a dissenting vote the Commer
cial club recommended that the Ore

The release of the prisoners Is
